Winter onset in Kassel: Snowfall and storm warnings threaten!

Kassel, Deutschland - A weather chaos is brewing in Northern Hesse! The German Weather Service (DWD) has raised the alarm: violent snowfall and stormy gusts threaten to meet the region on Wednesday, November 20. The warnings of level 2 apply until 8 p.m. for numerous counties, including Kassel, Waldeck-Frankenberg and Marburg-Biedenkopf. The weather experts expect up to 10 cm snow in higher locations and warn of smooth roads!

The situation is tense: In the past few days, heavy rainfall has already caused a risk of flooding. The districts of Fulda, Vogelsberg and Darmstadt-Dieburg are particularly affected, where the first warning levels have already been exceeded. The waters are filled and the meteorologists warn of possible floods. "Up to 200 liters of precipitation could fall over the next 14 days," said the graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung. The people in Hesse have to prepare for uncomfortable weather!

storm and snow - the weather is coming!

On Wednesday morning it gets cold and wet in Kassel and the surrounding area. The DWD warns of smoothness until 10 a.m. and frost in higher locations. The temperatures drop up to -7 degrees at night! While there is little snow in the lowland, up to 5 cm of fresh snow could fall in the mountains. The weather prospects are dark: it will remain frosty in the coming nights, and the risk of smoothness remains.

The gusts of wind have already caused the first damage: in South Hesse, a tree fell on the road and damaged a car. Fortunately, the driver was not injured.
